What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We are looking for a new set of avatars that will better represent our users. The new avatars should be the same size (32x32), have the same feel (heads only) but represent a certain niche instead of being generic. The niche we need the avatars for is "Goth", which is related to the niches "Emo" and "Vampire", so anything along those lines would be fine.

The avatars should have a smooth, cartoon-type feel (but NOT immature looking or targeted to kids) and should express several different styles or characters, with the avatar character having various looks/styles that match the niche, wearing different clothes/hats, having different emotions etc

We need 10 of these for this site, but the winner will have the opportunity to design sets of avatars for our entire network, which at this time is 60+ sites.
